Banks create money. If they loan that money out irresponsibly, isn't that analogous to counterfeiting? - On 30 Dec 2011

But I guess then no black people would buy it.
I see your no longer trying to hide your racism...
I was just saying that we have fuel wasting too large rims on all new cars because of black people. It's a fact.
You don't see very many white people doing this:
If the homeowner isn't insulted by your offer...you didn't bid low enough!!!
Ha. Those are hardly real cars any more. Nobody, white or black, is driving something like that to work or the grocery store on a daily basis.
During the last 10 years the price of crude oil has tripled, we have gone to war in Iraq, and despite all the technological progress we have had, dealers still don't offer non-hybrid cars which deliver significantly better gas mileage than the old school 2 door hatchback econoboxes.
I suppose the biggest advance in automotive knowledge is that there's little profit in selling simple economical cars to practical people. - On 30 Dec 2011

Looming decline in property tax revenues: "That storm has not yet hit",

How do we find out when a municipality reassesses the property value for property tax purposes? I'm in Brooklyn and the property taxes have gone up.
Maybe your assessment did go down but your tax rate went up.
I don't know about New York, but in Illinois most taxing districts can raise their rates to keep revenues in pace with the CPI. Needless to say, the County and State can vote to raise rates to whatever they can get away with.
Local governments are "entitled" to more even when the taxpayer's property values are falling:
"Typically when EAV's go down, the tax rate will go up to offset that decline in EAV...Just because an EAV goes down, doesn't mean districts are entitled to less money, doesn't mean taxpayers are necessarily going to be paying less," said Vaselopulos.
